day Review_.

"Vividly and vigorously told."--_London Academy_.

_Each 12mo, $1.25_:

My Lord Duke

"Mr. Hornung is a natural humorist, and has the art of telling a
story."--_Philadelphia Evening Telegraph_.

"It is pleasant to turn to a real story by a real story-writer.
Such is 'My Lord Duke.' ... Its story is its own, both in plot
and in characterization. It is a capital little novel."--_The
Nation_.

Young Blood

"Whether Lowndes be entirely realized or not does not much
matter; the conception of him is already a distinction. He is an
adventurer of genius, but not built on the usual lines.... And
his vitality is inexhaustible. We leave him, not without a stain
upon his character, but with considerable regret in our
minds."--_The Bookman_.

Some Persons Unknown

"In about half-a-dozen cases the scene is laid in Australia, and
the dramatic and tragic aspects of Colonial life are treated by
Mr. Hornung with that happy union of vigor and sympathy which
has stood him in such good stead in his earlier
novels."--_London Spectator_.

_In the Ivory Series. Each 16mo, 75 cents_:

The Boss of Taroomba

"There are passages in E. W. Hornung's latest story, 'The Boss
of Taroomba,' which remind us by their vividness and fantastic
quality of Stevenson in some of his South Sea Island tales....
The hero is an uncommon creation even for fiction."--_Chicago
Times-Herald_.

A Bride from the Bush

"Mr. E. W. Hornung is one of the most successful delineators of
Bush life."--_Chicago Tribune_.

Irralie's Bushranger

"A capital little story of Australian love and adventure. There
is no flagging in the press and stir of the story."--_The
Nation_.

Charles Scribner's Sons, New York
